Here's my story.
My store is over 40 years old. Many of the machines are jist as old. My open dairy case was struggling to keep up with the heat we had on May last year. We had a few days that hit 90's may and when my dairy case was in it's defrost cycle, the State health dept stopped by.
Stuck his thermometer in my yogurt and such. Off by 5°. Made me throw away over $2000 pf my dairy products and wrote me up for $1000. What ever.
They come back in June. I blow up and ask how this is allowed to go on everyday...
...and it's not a health issue.
He leaves with out checking anything.
A few customers saw what was happening and without my knowledge, starts a GoFundMe page.
A few weeks go by and one of my regular customer asks me what Im going to do with the money they raised for me. "Excuse me? What money?"
Apparently, a local blogging site caught wind of the GFM page and wrote a blog. Within weeks the fund was well above $12,000.
.
Being a proud guy, I wanted to return it. But my accountant and my wife said I should thank everyone and put the funds to good use.
Thats my "new" to me refurbished dairy case coming in to my store in July. Spent the GFM funds and a little over $2000 out of my pocket to set it up.
I get teary eyes everytime I walk by that open case now.
